Humour aside.....you will know if your Mac is bricked, it will be flatlined.

There is nothing special to see. To say that a computer is "bricked" means the system is as useful as a brick because it will not do anything; it is a slang expression. A "bricked" Mac Pro will not start up and shows nothing on the screen.

If it chimes, it is very probably not broken! Install an appropriate GPU and you should be up and running. If you have problems after installing your GPU, make a new forum topic describing your problem and someone will help you.

Not quite bricked, but just about to potentially be...
